weneedpilots,
Emerald has been kept afloat this long despite MOB, rather than because of him.
I have never seen less competent management, his ability to completely bu**er things up is quite astonishing. How can you take a company with good long term contracts, little or no debt, low operating costs and over heads and kill it in such a short period of time?
It defies belief. I witnessed Ops, crewing, pilots and engineers perform miracles to keep the show on the road and they have been repaid by having their livelihoods destroyed because of one man's utter incompetance.
Yes there have been a couple of incidents recently, but these are human error compunded by the environment at Emerald. No accident has a single cause, so simply blaming crew mistakes is taking an incredibly naive and uneducated view on the causes.
I know the Shed crews have had their letters, but is there any word about the 748 and ATP crews? Is it all over, or can the pheonix rise from the smouldering ashes.
What's the betting the CAA will refuse to let MOB be the accountable manager anymore, if he has somehow kept his position.
If he is still there, he must have some good polaroids of AJ.
